I hadn't made the connection that while he professed to be an "agent of chaos", everything he did was planned out to the last detail. A depraved sort of order, but order nonetheless. Good point.

In Batman Begins, Ra' al Ghul explains how criminals thrive on society's need to understand them. Then -- to advance that theme -- the Joker in The Dark Knight spews different sob stories to his victims. The films go so far to mock root causes. I love that.
